Bo Nix impresses, draws rave reviews while leading Auburn to a win at Arkansas

Bo Nix has been a bit inconsistent over his 3 years at Auburn. But when the junior quarterback is on top of his game, he can put together performances like the one he had Saturday afternoon at Arkansas.
Nix led the Tigers to a 38-23 win by going 21-for-26 for 292 yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. He also had 5 carries for 42 yards and a rushing score, which was a 23-yard scamper that sealed the victory with 2 minutes, 30 seconds to go in the fourth quarter.
It was the first time that Nix had multiple touchdown passes in a game since Sept. 11 against Alabama State. Entering Saturday, he had only 1 TD pass over his previous 4 contests.
With Nix having a big day, there were plenty of people discussing the Tigers QB on social media. Here’s some of the Twitter reaction to Nix’s strong performance in Fayetteville:

Not sure how good #Auburn is, but the Tigers have shown up on the road against Arkansas and LSU, and were in the game at Penn State. Bo Nix is clearly improving under coach Bryan Harsin.
Interesting team to follow down the stretch.

Can’t understate how big a win this is for Bryan Harsin and Bo Nix. Played big boy football on the road and will knock off a top 25 opponent. You can build off that.
